This successful launch means the ULA is still maintaining their 100% successful launch rate, even when using this completely new rocket!

Looks successful so far!
Yep, it looks like a good orbital insertion too. About a 30min coast until translunar injection.
We'll see if ULA actually gets sold now that Vulcan finally flew and LM and Boeing want out.
It still doesn't make any sense to me for Blue Origin to buy them.
I know, given the relevant track records and experience of the two companies, one would think that it would be ULA buying out their first stage engine manufacturer, not getting bought out.
